    I don’t know if I’d say creative storytelling is the only way to become better at writing with others just becoming repetitive. I’ve written about the films I’ve watched very frequently since 2021 and I feel the writing I do now is infinitely better than the drivel I started out doing. Still nowhere near what a professional who actually studied film for years and deeply understands the ins and outs of it could write, like something from Roger Ebert, but I like what I’ve put up at least within the last few months.

      I didn’t mean to make it come across as creative writing was the only way to get better at writing as a whole. Was more trying to say that exercising the creative side would make you better at that side in particular because you said you found yourself not good at creative writing. I was trying to encourage you into expand your hobby of writing into creative writing as well, if you felt like you were being held back on trying it more because of that.
